To be so annoyed he ate all the Penguins

I am livid.
We have a tin of chocolate biscuits in the cupboard. It was full of Penguins, some of which were the cheaper Aldi ‘Seal’ alternative, okay but not has good. DH has eaten all the penguins and left me with only the sub par Seal bars. Absolute prick, I’m thinking LTB.

P-p-p-pick up a spade

😂 why divorce when you could become a widow instead... ?

Popadomorbread · 09/04/2024 21:59

DH has returned and restocked with proper Penguins. I was about to let him back in the house then realised he has stashed away Jammy Wagon Wheels for himself!!
He is digging himself deeper in this hole. I’m going to eat my penguins and plot his demise.

Perhaps he is building a getaway vehicle with wagon wheels once he has done a penguin heist. Keep one eye open...

Oblomov24 · 09/04/2024 22:18

God I love a penguin. And a mint penguin. LTB.

Lick them all and put them back in the packet.

My husband does stuff like this but he’s so lovely I can’t LTB! I hide anything chocolatty in several hiding places throughout the house ….this gives me an inordinate amount of pleasure and also feeling of power 🤣

EC22 · 09/04/2024 22:29

Penguins are horrible, I can’t believe there’s a less good faux penguin.

I’ve had a really shit day and this has made me smile, Ty 🐧

At Easter and Christmas, my brother used to carefully undo boxes of eggs and advent calendars without trace, pull out the plastic, easy the egg, dispose of the wrapping, eat the eggs and then feign shock and suggest we write the company when they were discovered missing when we opened them.

It strikes me that this could easily be achieved with wagon wheels, a pritstick and a look of bemused shock.

WildBear · 09/04/2024 22:31

I don't buy any packs of anything as I can't help but scoff the lot immediately 😆

Sounds like you p-p-p-picked a selfish prick there ;-)

I know, they're right insecure cunts.

OMG I think I might be your brother! <hides lady bits>.

I used to carefully remove the back half of the egg and pad out the foil with cardboard, so my mum never knew 🤭

It took my parents an embarrassingly long time for them to piece it together. Despite the fact I shopped him two years prior.

Plot twist maybe it was them and he was framed.😨

Beatrixslobber · 09/04/2024 22:40

I’m on a stupid diet but haven’t had a penguin for years and now I really need one

Whenever I buy a multipack of something I'm particular to, I hide 1 or 2 in the weetabix box, otherwise the plague of locusts I live with will descend and take them all. I comfort myself with the fact that they're welcome to find and eat them....they've just got to start choosing a high fibre breakfast first!

Ooo this is genius!

MeDaughterMerope · 09/04/2024 19:44

Although tbf I think technically the sliding scale should be:

Kit Kat- Burn his dinner
Club- He sleeps in the spare room
Penguin- he sleeps in the shed
Mars Bar - divorce papers.

Clubs first!

I went specially into town last week to buy a half price Hotel Chocolat Easter Egg, went out for the evening at the weekend, husband ate half of it.

I’m contemplating our future together tbh.

I’d think you’d be looked favourably upon in the courts if you took evasive action OP.

JFC!
LTB.

Motherpro · 09/04/2024 22:58

This thread makes me laugh. In my house I'm the penguin thief or anything tasty thief. Nothing is safe with me in the house. :)

MeDaughterMerope · 09/04/2024 23:09

OnHerSolidFoundations · 09/04/2024 22:55

Clubs first!

As weapons, yes, as party venue also yes, as top of the choc pops?

Narrowly beaten by a twix. Outranks a penguin.

A mint one might just judge it though.

If you ever go to prison with a largely millennial/gen x population it's good to know these things as we'll not be trading smokes anymore.

NewMe2024 · 09/04/2024 23:09

Wait, what? Can someone say more about Jammy Wagon Wheels?? I haven’t had a Wagon Wheel since the early 90s and this sounds like an upgrade!

MeDaughterMerope · 09/04/2024 23:10

Fudge it, not judge it obvs.

No one is really in a position to judge a Club.

Apart from posh kids who might have a wispa or a Yorkie bar.

Same. I like to eat my chocolate straight from the Freezer.
I've taken to hiding it inside an empty bag of frozen peas.
Safer than Fort Knox 😂

He did you a favour. Penguins are stinking! 🤮🤮 Club mint now that's a different matter!

Friendofdennis · 09/04/2024 23:33

Star bars with the chewy bit in the middle. I keep them in my bag away from the gannets
